Planetary Galaxy Donuts

These Homemade Cake Treats are Decorated with Star Sprinkles

These adorable homemade cake donuts celebrate space and the beauty in stars with a galaxy decoration scheme that is filled with prismatic ombre colors and tiny star sprinkles. These donuts embody the colors and patterns of the universe.

Making these cake donuts can be a labor intensive process, but the end result is definitely worth it knowing that these sweet treats contain natural ingredients without any additives or fillers. The recipe calls for sugar, eggs, flour, butter, nutmeg, milk and vanilla to make the dough that then chills for several hours. Once the dough is firm it can be rolled, cut into circles and deep fried. The real fun comes with the decorations which call for swirling technicolor icing together, dipping the donut and then sprinkling with edible silver and gold stars.
